Description

Paroxetine hydrochloride is an antidepressant medication classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and panic attacks. By inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, paroxetine increases serotonin levels, which is believed to improve mood, emotional regulation, and anxiety control.

This medication is available in 20 mg tablets, and it is packaged in bottles containing 100 tablets. Paroxetine should be taken orally, typically once a day, in the morning with or without food. It is important to swallow the tablet whole, without breaking or chewing it. This helps to maintain the medication’s intended effect and minimizes potential side effects.

Common side effects of paroxetine include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. In some cases, patients may experience weight changes, sweating, or tremors. Serious side effects, though rare, may include suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome, or abnormal bleeding. If any of these symptoms occur, immediate medical attention is required.
